Today's show is a lot of fun because we flipped the script and I get interviewed by Drew Dillon and Aaron Jannetti of The Kamiwaza Podcast. I'm sharing this because we cover a lot of new ground in the world of coaching and development. We touched on so many important areas of identity, internal stories, journaling, psychology, flow state, trauma, and growth.  Enjoy!

Have you ever had an employee leave and take over $15,000 of revenue with them? Our guest was THAT employee, but don’t get triggered just yet.   In this episode, we’re talking to 1-on-1 Active Life Coach and personal trainer Larry Gaier. He talks about his decision to leave his job at New York Sport Club and take his clients with him.   If you haven’t experienced remote programming for yourself it may seem unlikely that you can achieve the same results, if not better, and never even see your coach or trainer in person. We discuss the difficult choice he had to make in leaving his dream job and why he doesn’t regret it for a second. Plus, Larry talks about how he restructured his services to do less work while making more money, having a greater impact on his clients, and how you can start doing the same.    Minutes: 11:15 Charging what you’re worth 18:15 Be a reflection of your intentions 22:50 Building competence & confidence 29:30 Creating self-efficacy 34:00 When to refer out   Please Support our Sponsors Organifi - Save 20% at http://organifi.com/shrugged   Connect with us: Work with an Active Life Coach like Larry: http://activeliferx.com/shrugged Find Larry @larry_thehuman Find Dr. Sean @DrSeanPastuch ---------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/alr-larryg ---------------------------------------------------------------- ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.

He's going to share his journey with us today. You're going to get a lot out of it. Enjoy the show.

We all go through times where we question what we are supposed to be doing with our lives. Sometimes the answer has been around for as long as we can remember. We just try to please others and ourselves at the same time. Think way back about what you first wanted to do... Think about how that one idea shaped the rest of your life... And now think about what you do right now... What’s changed? Are you happy?    Regardless of all that, I’m going to tell you some very personal stories that helped me along my path. Some of the details will honestly blow you away, maybe even make you cry, but it sure as hell is going to motivate you.    Let’s go!  ------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ep102 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.
